Description

Method for producing regenerated nylon-6 fiber by adopting solid-phase polycondensation direct spinning technology
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of regenerated fibers, in particular to a production method of regenerated nylon-6 fibers.
Background
The cyclic regeneration of the chinlon is an important way for improving the utilization rate of resources and solving the shortage of fossil resources. The method for recycling the nylon refers to the steps of recycling waste polyamide finished products or semi-finished product raw materials, and re-processing the waste polyamide finished products or semi-finished product raw materials by physical or chemical means to prepare the polyamide fiber. The regenerated nylon can be divided into a pre-consumption raw material and a post-consumption raw material according to the recycling stage, and the classification is based on whether the recycled raw material is a semi-finished product before being used by a consumer or a finished product after being used by the consumer. The recovery and reduction degree can be divided into monomer recovery and polymer recovery, and the classification is based on whether the recovered raw material is reduced to monomer and then polymerized to obtain regenerated polymer or the recovered polymer is directly utilized to produce regenerated fibers. The raw materials for producing the post-consumer regenerated nylon comprise wastes such as fabrics, clothes, carpets and fishing nets made of nylon, for example, Chinese patent CN107056625 discloses a method for recovering hexamethylene diamine from polyamide 66 waste fishing nets, and Japanese patent JP2008031128A discloses a method for recovering caprolactam from nylon 6 fiber wastes. The advantages of post-consumer recycling are that the amount of raw materials available for recycling is large, the resource recycling level is high, the disadvantages are that sorting and classification of the raw materials after consumption are troublesome, and the raw materials are generally recycled to monomer level by a chemical method and then polymerized again, the recycling process is complex, the energy consumption is high, the final cost is high, and the large-scale application is limited.
Another relatively mature scheme for recycling regenerated nylon is to recycle the nylon before consumption, wherein the recycling before consumption is obtained by recycling waste materials generated in the nylon production process, reducing the waste materials into regenerated polyamide again by adopting methods such as melting processing and the like, and then carrying out melt spinning. According to estimation, due to the influence of factors such as starting, spinning modification, testing and the like, waste materials accounting for 2-5% of the total production amount can be generated in the production process of chinlon 6, and the waste materials have three sources: the first type is block waste which is generated by flushing a pipeline and is cooled into blocks after a polyamide melt is extruded through a screw die orifice; the second type is the releasing waste silk which is generated in the spinning preparation process and is formed by cooling the polyamide melt through spinning fine flow formed by a spinneret plate component; the third type is winding waste silk, which is waste silk generated in the winding preparation process and is generated in the processes of cooling, oiling, drafting and winding by spinning trickle. Compared with the post-consumption regenerated nylon, the pre-consumption regenerated nylon has the advantages that the recovery process is relatively simple, and the energy consumption is relatively low, although the recyclable resources are limited, namely only waste materials generated in the nylon production process can be recycled, and the resource recycling level in the whole industrial chain is relatively low, namely only semi-finished product resources at the front end of the textile industrial chain can be recycled. Chinese patents CN 201510200462.2 and CN 201710557878.9 respectively disclose a method for preparing polycaprolactam slices by recycling nylon waste yarns. U.S. Pat. No. 5, 4143001 also discloses a method for melting and granulating nylon waste yarn after recovery and cutting. Chinese patent CN 202110026882.9 discloses a method for producing regenerated nylon 6 by dissolving nylon 6 waste with a mixed solvent, filtering and purifying to obtain nylon 6 crystals, and then carrying out melt spinning to produce regenerated nylon 6. In general, only the raw materials are reduced into polymers in the recovery before consumption, and only a few technical schemes select to reduce the raw materials recovered before consumption into monomers and then repolymerize the monomers to obtain the polyamide. Chinese patent CN 201310434072.2 discloses a method for depolymerizing waste nylon yarn at high temperature and recovering caprolactam by using phosphoric acid as a catalyst and potassium permanganate and sodium hydroxide as auxiliaries.
At the present stage, two main reasons for limiting the development of the regenerated nylon-6 before consumption are provided, one is the quality problem and the other is the energy consumption problem. The quality problem is caused by the degradation of macromolecules of the polymer raw material in the melt processing process, the increase of the content of the oligomer can deteriorate the spinning condition, and the quality of the chinlon 6 can be influenced. The reason for the degradation of macromolecules is that the ring-opening polymerization of caprolactam to polycaprolactam is a reversible process, and the high temperature makes the equilibrium of the reaction proceed toward the formation of monomers, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 (synthetic fiber production technology, Dong Ji et al, Press of textile industry, second edition 1993, page 196; Polyamide fiber, Zhu Jianmin, Press of chemical industry, first edition 2014, page 86). The energy consumption problem is that the nylon-6 waste is generated in the process of spinning and fiber forming from the recovery, and the energy consumption is increased by the increase of process steps and the multiple thermal processing of raw materials or working media. The method can be divided into two parts, wherein the first part comprises the energy consumption required by recovering the waste material until granulating to obtain the polycaprolactam regenerated raw material, the second part is the energy consumption required by melting the polycaprolactam regenerated raw material to spinning to obtain the chinlon 6, and the energy consumption generated by the second part is inevitable, but the energy consumption of the first part can be reduced by improving the process technology level. Generally, energy consumption can be controlled to be relatively low by directly drying recovered waste materials, then performing melt granulation and then chip spinning, but the method has the disadvantages that polycaprolactam raw materials are subjected to 3 times of melt thermal processing before being spun into nylon 6, firstly, primary chips are melted to obtain polycaprolactam blocky or fibrous waste materials, secondly, the waste materials are subjected to melt processing and are changed into polycaprolactam regenerated chips, thirdly, the polycaprolactam regenerated chips are melt spun to obtain regenerated nylon 6, polycaprolactam is degraded in each round of melt thermal processing, and finally, the production efficiency and the product quality of the regenerated nylon 6 are seriously influenced. The other technical route is to perform tackifying or viscosity regulation on the chinlon 6 waste after drying the waste, remove monomers and oligomers, and perform melting granulation, so that the molecular weight of the obtained regenerated polycaprolactam slices can reach the standard of primary slices, thereby ensuring the product quality of the regenerated chinlon 6. Chinese patent CN 202110033445.X discloses a method for obtaining nylon 66 slices by taking nylon 66 waste filaments as raw materials through two-stage melt mixing, drying, tackifying and then carrying out melt spinning to obtain nylon 66, and the method relates to a process route which comprises the steps of recycling the nylon 66 waste filaments, melting to prepare slices, drying, tackifying and then carrying out melt spinning again, and has a relatively long process and relatively high energy consumption.
The invention effectively solves the problems by combining the solid-phase polycondensation and the direct spinning technology from the two aspects of improving the quality and reducing the energy consumption. Solid phase polycondensation is a method of further polymerizing a polymer material below the melting point of the polymer under the action of a catalyst, and is one of effective ways of increasing the viscosity of the polymer (polyamide fiber, zhu jian, chemical industry press, first edition 2014, page 41). U.S. Pat. No. 3, 2993879 disclosed a solid phase polycondensation method of polycaprolactam as early as 1961, and British patent No. GB1305246A disclosed a method of increasing the viscosity of polycaprolactam by solid phase polycondensation using phosphoric acid as a catalyst. In these disclosed methods, Solid phase polycondensation is usually used to increase the molecular weight of polycaprolactam at the later stage of Polymerization, and the principle is to control the polycondensation temperature below the melting point of polycaprolactam and above the melting point of caprolactam monomer, and to make the caprolactam monomer undergo ring-opening Polymerization to form polycaprolactam polymer under the action of catalyst, and the appropriate temperature makes the polycondensation equilibrium proceed toward the direction of polycaprolactam polymer formation, and ensures that the polycaprolactam polymer formed will not be degraded (Solid State Polymerization, Constantine paspalyparides, John Wiley & Sons, inc., 2009, Page 123-124). The key of polycaprolactam solid phase polycondensation is the temperature, the catalyst and the particle size of the raw materials, and in a proper temperature range, only if the particle size of the raw materials is small enough, enough monomers and oligomers can be diffused from polycaprolactam macromolecules in softened polycaprolactam particles to participate in polycondensation. Solid phase polycondensation has not been used to recover polycaprolactam waste on a large scale, because it requires high recovery of raw materials, which generally only contain polycaprolactam macromolecules, caprolactam monomers or oligomers composed of caprolactam monomers, and a small amount of inert matting agent, while the polycaprolactam waste after consumption contains many impurities, such as dyes, dyeing and finishing aids, and other impurities, which are difficult to achieve.
An important factor hindering the popularization of the nylon-6 melt direct spinning technology is that the production of polycaprolactam slices and the production of nylon-6 are separated in most cases, and how to reduce the oligomer content of the polymer system in the molten state and the retention time of the polymer system in the molten state is a very difficult problem in the technical aspect. Chinese patent CN 105669969B discloses nylon 6 and a method for preparing nylon 6 by melt direct spinning thereof. Chinese patent CN 109811423B discloses a method for producing functional polyamide fiber by continuous polymeric melt direct spinning. According to literature reports that chinlon 66 realizes breakthrough of a melt direct spinning technology, after a preliminary test, the energy consumption is reduced by 3.4% (practice of energy saving and consumption reduction in the production process of melt direct spinning of polyamide 66, namely, lie peng xiang, synthetic fibers, 2021, 50(8), 11). So far, no patent technology for preparing regenerated nylon 6 by using a direct spinning technology is disclosed.
Therefore, for those skilled in the art, how to recover various waste materials generated in the nylon production process, and how to improve the quality of regenerated nylon-6 fiber, improve the production efficiency and reduce energy consumption becomes a problem of further research in the industry.

The pre-spinning viscosity represents the molecular weight of the nylon macromolecule, and as can be seen from table 1, the conventional regenerated chip is reduced compared with the original chip, which results in the quality deterioration of the nylon 6 product, while the pre-spinning viscosity of the regenerated raw material after solid phase polycondensation can basically return to the level of the original chip. Before spinning EX is the content of extractables in the raw materials and represents the content of oligomers in the nylon raw materials, the lower the content of the oligomers, the better the quality of the raw materials, the higher the production efficiency, and the better the quality of the spun nylon 6. From table 1, it can be seen that the extractable content of the regenerated raw material subjected to solid phase polycondensation is lower than that of the conventional regenerated chip and is close to the level of the virgin chip, and it can be seen that the production efficiency in the embodiment examples 1 to 4 is higher than that of the conventional regenerated chip, in which the full-package rate is improved, and the product quality, such as breaking strength and breaking elongation, of the regenerated nylon 6 is close to that of the nylon 6 spun from the virgin chip.
The invention effectively solves the existing problems by utilizing the effective combination of solid phase polycondensation and direct spinning technology from the two aspects of improving quality and reducing energy consumption. The invention adopts solid phase polycondensation to improve the molecular weight of the recovered polycaprolactam, and then adopts a direct spinning mode to produce the regenerated chinlon 6, as shown in figure 3. The regeneration method provided by the invention is simple and effective, not only can improve the production efficiency and the product quality of the regenerated nylon-6, but also can avoid repeated hot processing of regenerated raw materials and reduce energy consumption.
The above-described embodiments are intended to illustrate rather than to limit the invention, and any changes and alterations made without inventive step within the spirit and scope of the claims are intended to fall within the scope of the invention.
